Just wanted to give you props I usually don’t watch 1hr tutorials but this was great!! Very informative and not boring like others I’ve seen.

I am a technologically advanced persona and have had my Lighting for a couple of weeks, messing with all these settings for a while. And, I learned a lot from this video. Thank you! (And thank you KZfaq for the 2.0 playback speed setting to save my time).

I love these in depth videos. It helped make the sale when we bought our 2021 Ford Escape. Now my comment. Speed Sign Recognition. Driving in Illinois, or any place with a 'Truck Speed Limit', everytime it dropped the set speed to the Truck speed limit. and rolling down the Illinois interstate the TRUCK speed limit sign was 1 mile after the regular speed limit sign. It is good for construction sites but you have to drive your vehicle.

One thing I can't quite figure out, just took delivery today. My new lightning is set to miles per hour in miles with the speedometer and display but in the GPS it is telling me how far things are in km And I can't seem to find a separate setting to adjust that to be miles. Any ideas?

Great question, all the new features would be great with my 2018 Raptor. i plan on adding in the Pro Power onboard, "after market if forced to" updating the 360*, front and rear cameras with the most current verisons as itshould be just a plug and go. Ford is so bad at providing upgrades for model changes which cost them a ton of money in extra revenio, its crazy how stupid corperate management is and just think about all the extra money with them providing a factory warrenty as an option.

"Auto" fan speed on Fords should be Really Low, Not quite so Low, and Low. This is not any different from gas F150's though. Just humorous. But Ford fan speed aside, OUTSTANDING video, many thanks! I just got my Lightning this week, and this showed me a ton more than I am too lazy to watch individual Ford manual videos for!

I know it's not on this topic, but anyone found a way to shut off the voice prompts on these? I drive 5 mph stop and go a lot on unpaved roads opening and closing cattle gates and the seat beat reminder voice wont stop. I got rid of the dinger by following the manual, but the voice prompts remains.

@tooagle 2 жыл бұрын

Was this another one of Ford's "better ideas"? I'm beyond frustrated by this Sync4a garbage. It's complicated, distracting, and takes a huge amount of research from various resources to learn it. There's no dedicated manual for sync 4a, other than what's on the screen, which is ridiculous. There is some basic information in the online owner manual for sync, but much of it is not accurate. It'll show you a screen, but it's different than what you have. It'll tell you to press a 'tile', but you don't see it on the screen and there's nothing telling you where that tile (or icon) is or how to get to it. Things like that. Ford's reasoning for not including a printed owner manual and a printed sync 4a manual is something to the effect of "you no longer have to worry about taking up space in the glove box with manuals". No Ford, it's about saving a few bucks.

While I'll agree the video is well done as are all of your videos from TC TV - the absurdity of these giant IPad's thrown onto dashboards is out of hand. It's like a contest to see who can put the biggest, fluff riddled, TV screens in your face. From a design point alone it is absolutely ugly.
